OFFALY U3A is marking the end of a very successful first year with a Summer Jazz & Swing Evening in the Bridge House Hotel, Tullamore.
Since its launch, Offaly U3A has attracted members from across the county who share an interest in lifelong learning, social activities and discovering new interests.
Over the past year, members have enjoyed a wide range of talks and presentations on subjects including photography, the history of Charleville Castle, art appreciation, hypnotherapy, common law, interior design, glass-making in 16th-century Offaly and crime prevention advice from An Garda Síochána.
The group has also organised a number of outings and cultural events. Members have visited museums, attended a theatre production in Dublin, explored Mountmellick Museum and, most recently, enjoyed a Dawn Chorus event at Belvedere House, Mullingar.
To celebrate the friendships, learning and community spirit that have developed over the past year, Offaly U3A is hosting a Summer Jazz & Swing Evening in the Bridge House Hotel. The event is open to everyone and music lovers of all ages, and will feature Tiny Crimes jazz band, dancing and finger food.
Tickets are only €25 and are available at 086 3079361 and the Bridge House Hotel.
